Genetic analysis of a transposable suppressor gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

PMCID: PMC431571  PMID: 794881

Abstract

We have demonstrated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the transposition of a gene coding for an efficient ochre (UAA) suppressor from a centromere-linked site on chromosome III to two new sites in the yeast genome. One site is on chromosome VI, very close to, if not allelic with, SUP11, one of eight genes coding for a tyrosine-inserting suppressor. The second site is on chromosome III, unlinked to the centromere and distal to the mating type locus. This site is very close to those mapped for the recessive lethal amber suppressors, SUP-RL1 and SUP61.
